I Don’t Want to Be a Frog

　　小青蛙某天跟爸爸說：「我想當貓咪！」「你不能當貓咪。」「青蛙整天泡在水裡，溼答答的！」「反正你不能當貓咪就對了。」

　　「我想當小豬！」「小豬得吃垃圾喔。」「我可以吃啊！」「大家在吃到垃圾之前都是這麼說。」

　　一下子抱怨自己身上有黏液、一下子又說吃蟲子好噁心，小青蛙想當兔子、貓頭鷹或小豬，就是不想當青蛙。直到飢餓的大野狼出現，牠什麼都愛吃…除了青蛙以外，因為青蛙又濕又滑、而且滿肚子都是小蟲！轉念想想，當隻青蛙好像也不錯喔！【文∕博客來外文館】

　　Fans of Mo Willems’s Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! and Jon Klassen’s I Want My Hat Back will love meeting this willful young frog with a serious identity crisis. Frog wants to be anything but a slimy, wet frog. A cat, perhaps. Or a rabbit. An owl? But when a hungry wolf arrives—a wolf who HATES eating frogs—our hero decides that maybe being himself isn’t so bad after all. In this very silly story with a sly message, told in hilarious dialogue between a feisty young frog and his heard-it-all-before father, young readers will identify with little Frog’s desire to be something different, while laughing along at his stubborn yet endearing schemes to prove himself right.
